The BookViral Review:
With the release of book four in his Warramunga War series, Kater reminds us there’s nothing better than a good story well told. Some series grow old and thin with subsequent releases becoming sadly indistinguishable from previous novels but once again Kater has delivered a fresh and above all original plot. All our favourite characters are back and this time they are on the trail of opium smugglers but there are a few close calls as the action picks up a full head of steam. Johhny Cook narrowly escapes death and Jacko too whilst Sarah, Carna and Henry find themselves unexpectedly drawn into the intrigue to find their lives in danger. Underpinned by Kater’s exemplary research the strength of his novels is the emotional depth he brings to his characters and his ability to bring authentic scenes to life and with Conflict on the Yangtze he is once again on top form. With sturdily described imagery, a smattering of humour and plenty of suspense Kater’s well-crafted narrative and multiple plot threads are sure to keep readers on edge.
Well-paced, intelligent and never, ever boring this may well be Kater’s best release to date and is unreservedly recommended to fans of the genre and beyond.
Dystopian fiction, more often than not, leans towards the bleak whilst relying heavily on genre tropes but Utopia? is something a little different. A novel with ideas that whilst unnerving is refreshingly original.
Consistently surprising and stuffed to the gills with wild plot devices protagonist Adrian Gray ( War Child) is certainly in a class of his own with his efforts to appease an ever-growing cadre of gods and demonic incarnations always delightfully gruesome and grin-inducing.
In reality, very few partners leave at the onset of abuse. Families live with domestic abuse for a significant period of time, and the abused will often return to the perpetrator after attempting to leave.
Few Crime Fiction authors genuinely excel at successfully misleading their readers and revealing an unlikely suspect as the real villain of the story and those that do can invariably be found at the very top of Whodunit Bestseller lists.
The Covid-19 pandemic has influenced our consumption of media in a variety of ways. From every new Netflix original being crowned its ‘best ever’, to cinema releases being consistently pushed back, stay at home orders have resulted in us engaging with media differently.
The fact is that few authors really master the art of suspense and those who do are the ones who come to understand its underpinning psychology.
